VEGAS Movie Studio 17

Do not buy this. I bought this, downloaded and it seemed to work fine, but when I tried to open it again, it told me to activate it. I never got anything in any email as to what the activation code was. Spent like $50 for nothing. This is nothing but a scam. If I could give it zero stars, I would.

I owned Vegas back when Sony made it and had ZERO problems with it.

I was a big fan of Vegas back when Sony was at the helm, but the product has taken a severe downturn since then. For my current project -- a four minute video in 4K -- the UI crashes about every 20 minutes. It cannot render 4K due to out of memory errors on this 32GB machine.

Works well so far...

now i know what you think another BS one star from somebody that may not have used it. I got it at best buy and used 8 and 12 as those dont work anymore really, I got 17 thinking well a updated version should work. Found out the reason it crashes it that it wont accept .mts files anymore basic camcorder files. So you have to convert to MP4 just to put them in vegas. its just like 12 and stuff sure. For the most part. I didnt have that issue like some other poeple. But be prepared to spend a hour or 2 fixing bugs before you can use it properly if you are using a camcorder and they usally all record in .MTS files. It seems to work fine after a few tweeks and stuff and converting the files however. does take a while to render as well.

It should have a different name. Movie Studio 18 is even worse. The user interface has been changed so much that there is little in common with earlier versions. Stick with earlier Movie Studio versions unless you want to learn a brand new program.

Buyer beware. No support from Vegas/Magix or Amazon. The key provided by Amazon doesnt work. Magix says Amazon should be able to remedy the issue, but Amazon says this is a Magix issue. No one wants to help, I get no refund and Ive wasted $45. Buyer beware...do not buy digital from Amazon.

Ein mächtiges Tool, die Bedienung ist gewöhnungsbedürftig, einfach nur mit der Klicki-Bunti-Mentalität geht nicht.

Bought this for my husband for Christmas. When he tried to install it today it said the activation key has already been used. We must have been sent a bad code. Buyer beware!
